Bolton Wanderers have signed former England international Emile Heskey on a short term deal, according to the Mirror.
The 36 year old had been with Newcastle Jets in Australia’s A-League for the past two years, after spending eighteen years as a professional in England, where he played for Leicester City, Liverpool, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa.
In total he has racked up almost six-hundred club games, scoring one hundred and sixty-one goals while internationally he won sixty-two caps for England, netting seven times.
Bolton, who dropped back down to the second tier in 2012, currently sit in sixteenth place in the Championship and are struggling in forward positions with Max Clayton and Joe Mason both set for long spells on the side-lines while Craig Davies is also struggling to be fit for Friday.
Neil Lennon’s men host Blackburn Rovers, and are available at a price of 7/4 to take all three points.
